Certifying quantum properties with minimal assumptions is a fundamental problem in quantum information science. Self-testing is a method to infer the underlying physics of a quantum experiment only from the measured statistics. While all bipartite pure entangled states can be self-tested, little is known about how to self-test quantum states of an arbitrary number of systems. Here, we introduce a framework for network-assisted self-testing and use it to self-test any pure entangled quantum state of an arbitrary number of systems.

Quantum-Resistance in Blockchain Networks
We have designed and developed a layer-two solution to secure the exchange of information between blockchain nodes over the internet and introduced a second signature in transactions using post-quantum keys. Our versatile solution can be applied to any blockchain network.
Practical Randomness and Privacy Amplification
We present the first complete implementation of a randomness and privacy amplification protocol based on Bell tests. This allows the building of device-independent random number generators which output provably unbiased and private numbers. We then showcase our protocol on the quantum computers from the IBM-Q experience.
